I mostly know people who became christian after being atheist. Is that a common path? Have you shared about it on stacker?
Yes it is, I have heard of atheists becoming religious many times. I have no personal accounts to share for my path was the inverse.
reply
Yeah. Many of my peers have become christian recently.. most of them were raised that way when they were young and rebelled against at. And then went back.
I never had any kind of faith, and now I feel some kind of connection to my own version of "GOD"
reply
I don not have anything against being religious, my experience in my childhood was great. It just lost sense by itself until it vanished, and time did nothing but to consolidate that path. The idea of a god disturbs me, makes everything lose sense. I took engineering as my religion and never looked back.

I love engineering. I was an electrician for many years. Now I tinker.

Then you understand me

I think it is possible to be logically minded and still spiritual. It all works together when we zoom out enough.

I would never go against the belief structure of someone that has found peace in it. That actually stems from my engineering religion: if it works, don't fix it.
That said, in my specific belief structure, the idea of "spirituality" haves no sense, at all. It just blurs my understanding, so I got rid of it, and I even feel better that way. But that's me.

I don't think there is one right way. I just like relating to all types of people and expanding my perspective.
